Celtic Diary Sunday June 3: New Kits, New Players And New “rangers “

The interweb was full of pictures, well, a picture, of what is rumoured to be the new away kit for next season..

It could be true. New Balance have previous for just copying old strips and releasing them as new, and this one is a tribute one of the classic strips, from the ninteenth century, and it is the clubs 130th birthday …

I hope its true. I’m a long time advocate of all strips just being a variation on green and white, and this one fits the bill, although some kind of protective cover may be required for the front if I’m to wear it on a match day.

If it isn’t true, then whoever mocked it up should be appointed head of design for future strips.

We hear that Mikael Lustig will be showing his Celtic scrapbook to his big pal Pontus Jansson during the quiet moments of the World cup in Russia.

The big Swede is looking forward to the tournament..

“The past two seasons with Celtic have been incredible and to now be going to the World Cup is a dream for me. These are exciting times and I’m loving every moment of it.

“I know as a fan how it feels back home when Sweden do well in any tournament. We have a good team, we are a close group and while Brazil will be favourites to win the group, they always are, we have a great chance of getting through.”

He’d already given Jansson a mix tape of some traditional tunes to sing along to on the Swedish team bus… which will annoy players such as Joel Matip and Ryan Shawcross, who are both on that all encompassing radar scanning Europes player lists…

( mix tape ? I suppose they’ll be recording their trip on an 8mm camera as well-Ed )

There’s nothing wrong with a wee bit of nostalgia, a yearning for simpler times.

Scot Rail, according to Tam Doherty on twitter, have taken things even further..

Waiting on the train back to 1690

Those leggings seem to be rather popular this summer, and long may it continue, as it helps us to determine which ladies would provide interesting, entertaining and thought provoking conversation and which ones would eat their own babies.

Joe Miller of NTV magazine captured Mark Dingwall, who runs a chat forum for the hard of thinking, on Sky TV the other day where Dingwall explained why “rangers ” were so far behind Celtic.

Dingwall, who is usually so good when it comes to discussing money, claimed live on tv that Celtic had spent £70m last season, which certainly surprised a few people..

When you say something in public you have to be prepared for any criticism that comes along, so its normally a good idea to at least do a wee bit of research, but then again, as we have seen, when it comes to those who support that team, facts are just something that concern other people..

The latest revelation from Ibrox, discovered by diligent bampots with nothing better to do, largely becuase there isn’t anything i can think of thats better than unearthing this sort of gem, concerns Steven Gerrard, now three days into his Ibrox contract, which appears to have a clause in it concerning on the job training, with a couple of days a week off to attend college.

It appears he is still studying for his Pro Licence, which is a sort of city and guilds in football, needed by anyone who is in charge of any team who play in European competition.

In fact, Scotland is one of few countries which doesn’t ask for this for domestic games as well, although you do have to be studying for it.

Hi presence at the Toulon tournament in France was explained as a trip to scout talent, but in fact its part of his training.

Well done to the new club for allowing an apprentice a crack at the top job so soon…

And he’s already set some targets..

The Europa league group stage will be very difficult for the Ibrox side to reach, but Gerrard will be hoping for progress.

Though the fans would probably prefer to avoid them this year..

Ah, which reminds me..Cartuja summed the whole thing up in one picture..

You may also notice that Ally McCoist is interested in the St Mirren management position.

Football, as we know, is all about ups and downs, but for this is quite extreme.

Ecstasy at the return to the top flight, followed by dismay their talented manager moving south, and then horror at the possibility of hiring failed fat funster McCoist ?

My heart goes out to them, and I hope that McCoist is nowhere near Paisley St James station when the season starts.

There has been no further comment from the SFA regarding the issuing of licences to compete in europe next season.

From that, we must assume that the previous provisional list has been forwarded as the final document, which means that somehow the accounts, which are never published, and the share issue that is never made by Dave King, with the Takeover Panel he never answers to hanging the Sword of Damocles over Ibrox, somehow, someone at the SFA decided to authorise their application.

Meet the new SFA.

Same as the old one, and there you have , in a nutshell, why they have publicly fallen out with King.

It makes them look like they are a new, improved governing body, when in fact, they’re exactly the same as they always were.

Scottish football needs Scottish clubs and their supporters to stand up to this blatant disregard for the rules now.

Not when the season starts, or when the world cup takes our attention away, but now.

Before they fuck it up even more. Beyond repair, in fact.

On Friday we showed this picture.. which, incidentally we haven’t used before. This is a different guy.

E-tims’ pish-stained mole reveals the volume of err… research he consumes when writing up the rumour mill.

Indeed, we salute his dedication.

Today..

Have to agree, the SFA and SPL will do nothing. Why should they when only one club and its chairman, occasionally, highlight issues. The rest are frightened sheep scared of losing the blue pound or in fear of their lives because the authorities will not touch their rabid element.

So there was a wee orange walk by our door in Ayr yesterday afternoon. I’m not good at crowd estimation, (I think the police segment the crowd in aerial photographs and allocate a number for each segment). Without such technology, My woman and I watched from an upstairs window. I estimated about twelve in the band and maybe nineteen people walking along the pavement.
For such a wee band they managed to generate a lot of noise with a big drum. Nobody was smiling; they looked pretty grim, these Loyal Defenders (of something).
It was only when they’d passed by that I saw why they had had glum faces. One of their number had obviously been shopping and had dropped all their eggs along the route as they passed.
Quel dommage

Hopefully you were able to rid of all the filth afterwards.

And the eggs.

Something struck me yesterday as I watched the wee walk.
They looked embarrassed and tried to look defiant at the same time, like when your mammy made you wear a balaclava to school and you felt ridiculous but didn’t want to show it. I can’t see their children putting up with the ridicule as they get older, unless they stay on their own wee estate.
I reckon that once the inevitable happens and demographic change will unite Ireland, we’ll see a hoard of them landing in Stranraer.

In Luxembourg, the good people of Niederkorn gather in the town square for the Europa League draw. Can their candle lit vigil deliver the team they want…

That photo of the fleggers waiting on the number 1690 to Bigotsville is truly fucking horrendous. I’m assuming that this photo is recent, if so, why have the kids got wellies on when it’s scorching?

Noel, The animals they only think short-term, mainly about there next meal, but they can teach us a lot about.. love, motherhood, faithfulness and lack of hate. Sometimes the simple things are best, its mankind that introduces the complications, to the point that they overthink things.

I was watching a programme about different species in Patagonia and in particular with rearing their young, animals are no different from us in regards to that aspect. Speaking of those species with short term thought processes, I wonder is the Huns still think Honey G will be their saviour?

MikeJune 3, 2018 at 5:03 pm ·

They will, because they are desperate to believe that he will deliver them from.. obscurity, he is after all the latest in a long list of saviours, when they were stealing the taxpayers money that was the last time that they won anything.
Now that, that avenue is closed to them, he will be like the others, he will win F.A. Ego is a dangerous thing….

That new top is a work of art. I’ve got a similar one,Magners on the front,but from a GAA club. Had it for about eight years,so will need the new one!

As for the SFA,there may be problems for them if they pass Rangers as fit for Europe,and this is challenged via UEFA. It will probably mean that ALL applications from AFA are scrutinised in future.

And I’m not sure they’ll fancy that much.

As for the caption competition,that’s me and my mates next week in Belfast,taking a breather between pubs and waiting for the fleet of taxis to arrive!!!

It looked more like a porno scene
From a Hun’s wet dream
I asked the Huns there:’What do you mean
He is the One
Who will grind all the Tims to the ground?’

They told me his name was Stevie G
Then I heard the screams
From all the press there with eyes that dreamed
Of seeing the One
Who would grind all the Tims to the ground.

The Peepul shouted to him
‘Be careful what you do’
‘Don’t go around breaking our Hun hearts’
And Jabba slyly told him
‘Be careful what you say’
‘We tell them every day’
‘That the club can pay its way’

Stevie G is not their saviour
He’s some Scouse git they brought in to placate the Huns
But the Hunskelping’s not done
They think Stevie’s the One
But the Hunskelping’s not done.

For 40 days and for 40 nights we put with shite
About the stars that he would demand
Come to Hunland
To help grind all the Tims to the ground
So take my strong advice
And don’t listen to media hype
(It’s all tripe)

They told me:’Stevie is here to win’
Couldn’t help but grin
Showed them a photo of zombies crying
Last time we met
(When we skelped them on their own home ground)

The Peepul shouted to him
‘Be careful what you do’
‘Don’t go around breaking our Hun hearts’
But with Dave King stood beside him
In a trophyless Blue Room
It happened very soon
He led them to their doom.

Stevie G was not their saviour
Stevie G was not their saviour
Stevie G was not their saviour…

Devoy45June 3, 2018 at 4:59 pm ·

Steven Gerrard, think, John Barnes, Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton. How can an untested manager be a saviour? Not who I’d choose. That choice might just guarantee us 8 in a row. Besides, it’s Aberdeen or Hibs we should be concerned about. Why all this guff about Sevco?

Rob O'KeeffeJune 3, 2018 at 6:45 pm ·

Guff about Sevco?…..business is business…..care for an over priced ticket to watch a 6 year old club?……Signed Cellik Plc……

Charlie SaizJune 3, 2018 at 10:23 pm ·

Spot on.
all that has happened is they have taken a step backwards (after yet another failed appointment) and appointed a Manager with even less Managerial experience than the last.
All the noise and bluster is exactly that.
Noise and bluster.
Fs they haven’t even declared how much money will be available yet?

Let the Annual Accounts do the talking and ffs folks stop listening to the media.

Caption: As the terrified townspeople cower from the approach of the undead hordes, one amongst them, a hero from the past (and a right hard bastard too, which you can tell because he’s in his short sleeves on a chilly day), takes advantage of the confusion to slip away and get kitted up one last time. “Don’t do it,” cries a voice, “The zombies will eat you.” To which the hero simply laughs, “Zombies don’t eat The Bear. Zombies FEED THE BEAR!”

Charlie, I agree, it was a great wee read. But I’ve had too many fuckin’ thousands of “great wee reads” over the last 7 or so years. It’s time the reading was history, the action is taken and the huns are penalised, aye, bastard child and bastard parent equally as the flies on the same shit hang on to the nonsense of “same club”. APPLY THE RULES, and the ‘positioning’ of titles will follow suit.
This is my biggest and gravest frustration at CP in general and Lawwell in particular. Them bastards (huns) were an easy target in 2012 for PL (and PLC) to show up for their whole, stinking, self-centred, cheating and lying selves by Celtic PLC calling them and the SFA/SPL out. Apart from the whole decade plus of cheating, by illegal payments, they’ve been allowed to take our place in Europe in 2011 and Peter Lawell accepts this by silence? That’s not dignified silence, it’s cheating our fans just as our club was cheated; IMO, Lawwell is just as bad! Someone please tell me I’m missing something here (if I am) but I’m convinced I’m correct. Just as convinced as I am that on 29th July 2012, a brand new ‘entity’ that had never participated in professional football, Sevco Scotland Limited, took the field with the SFA’s grace and played Brechin City. (it was only 2 days later that Sevco changed its name to TRFC Ltd.)
If anyone, and I mean ANYONE, can correct me here then please do, without delay.
I wont let this cheating go, and I beg of each and every one of you to see this scandal for what it is and to fight tirelessly until we reduce that scum to where it should’ve been many, many years ago. Whilst that filth, AKA the Orange Order are marching, we should be ‘marching’ and encompassing ALL those who know and accept the Truth and all that collective knowledge:we’ve got our own ETims and then alphabetically, but not entirely, CQN, JohnJames, Kerrydale Street, Phil Mac, Video Celts and, IF ONLY we still had Paul McConville and Paul McBride.(RIP both)
BUT, this is a cause worth fighting for and Fenians don’t shirk from their obligations – not even on holidays of :-).
I’ll promise £20 towards a ‘fighting fund’ to take away all the cheats and liars involved here including, and if necessary, any at CP.
It should be noted that, generally in litigation (where legal action is taken against another) then if that ‘other’ contests/defends and loses, then costs will be awarded against THEM. We have the PROOF in spades. We ONLY need to kick this off so it shouldn’t cost TOO much…….I would venture “Who’s with me?” but some of my behaviour when I ‘lose the plot’ would not encourage very many, so instead I ask “Who’s with this cause?”
At the end of the day, the principle is always far more important than the personality. LET’S GO FOR IT. NOW.

Catching up on posts and caught the chat about Shearer and whether he deserved the name in Henke’s song; to my mind the line was “but he was dearer” until we played Newcastle in a pre season friendly, cannae mind the year. Shearer was a dirty prick in the game and the line changed en masse due to his own behaviour. He is a wanker: fact!!

On another note, I noticed that ‘Wikipedia’ has a tally of trophies won (by the best teams, alive – or dead BTW) in Scotland as, er, “rangers” 115 against The Bhoys 105.
Now, as honesty dictates that cheats never win :-), we’ll see the scum ‘relieved’ (in this context ah fuckin’ love that word) of around 17 trophies, most of which will be retrospectively awarded to their rightful owner (mostly): CELTIC FC. Take a bow, CELTIC FC and all of its paymasters, our world-renowned, best Supporters on the Planet.
Hail! Hail!

PS Lawwell, there’s still time for you to be a REAL Celtic supporter, but, at your age, it’s running out.
Please, Peter Thomas, prove me wrong; show me you’re a TIM and not just an over-paid bean-counter. PLEASE…….

TicTocJune 4, 2018 at 1:52 am ·

On yet another note;
I regret the source but not the content which, if I’ve managed to get this right, will settle some ‘arguments’ at the ‘discussion’ stage.
Peter T Lawwell must be given tremendous credit here for nurturing our stadium and preparing for decent income when ‘big things’ come calling to accommodate their own ‘thing’.
I’m er, ‘cool as fuck’ with that.
Renaming ‘Parkheid’/’Paradise’/’Celtic Park’ is, in my view, OUT OF THE FUCKING QUESTION.
We’re winning at the moment, and whilst stadium revenue, outwith the fucking creeps at Clyde SS, is welcome, it needs to be scrutinised and it needs to be CELTIC.
Finally, good on wee Lou Macari for his work with the homeless; it shouldn’t exist in this very ‘rich’ country, but it does and we need Lou’s like to help and highlight this eminently avoidable tragedy.
Of course, most of us would know nothing of many great efforts made by Tims past and present, without the continuous efforts of Ralph and co. here at ETims.
I’ll be forever grateful for those efforts. Thank you.

Some very odd views on Alan Shearer on this thread….
Shearer was a genuine world class striker who would in his prime, walked into ANY top side in Europe!
As for him being ” dirty “? So fucking what?

Shearer put his love for his boyhood team, Newcastle Utd, before the lure of more cash & trophies elsewhere….to me, that is the true mark of the man.

“An on-field incident during a league match in 1998 against Newcastle United between Lennon and Alan Shearer resulted in the England international being charged with misconduct by the FA, Television footage showed Shearer appearing to intentionally kick Lennon in the head following a challenge. The referee of the game took no action against Shearer. Shearer apologised afterwards, but denied that the contact with Lennon was deliberate, and Lennon later gave evidence in Shearer’s defence at the FA hearing which subsequently cleared the Newcastle and England striker of all charges.

So who is the fanny in this development and who is the real man?
The fud who deliberately kicks a player in the head whilst he’s on the floor DEFENCELESS or the player who he kicks that gives evidence to get a fellow pro cleared?

Alan Shearer spineless,cowardly,fanny.

My reference to Shearer was that great players (and he was a great striker) don’t often have the skills to manage other players, especially those without their natural gifts. Many great managers were good players but not in the class of Gerrard and Shearer: Alex Feguson, Big Jock, Brendan, Mourinho, Wenger and many many more.
